Tailwind Weekly #141: are we getting a Tailwind CSS marketplace? 👀
Hello folks!
In this week's Tailwind Weekly, we're excited about the potential of a Tailwind marketplace, as hinted by Adam Wathan in his latest podcast appearance. We're also showing an upcoming new Table component for Catalyst, which promises a flexible approach.
Beyond the news, we've got a deep dive into CSS style recalculation, an introduction to HTMX for dynamic UIs, and a handy Laravel Tailwind Merge package for resolving class conflicts. Plus, don't miss our showcase on a beautifully designed DNS course for developers and the Nightwind CSS plugin for an easy dark mode integration.
Let's dive in!
P.S. This will be the last issue of the year; we'll take a 2-week break to rest and come back strong in January. Happy holidays ❤️!
🌟 News
Adam's had yet another podcast appearance where he and the hosts delve into a range of topics, including the much-anticipated Tailwind Catalyst UI kit and the idea of a Tailwind marketplace. I'm really looking forward to the latter 😍.
On another note, Jonathan Reinink from the Tailwind Labs team tweeted about the new Table component they're building for Catalyst and how flexible they're planning it to be. Personally, I think it'll be great to have a "tailwind-first" table component example 😁.
